Chapter 557: I Didn't Leave Outer Space Behind
President Carter finally stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I thought I came with sincerity to restore peace to this world, maybe I was too idealistic and wanted to be a messenger of peace for this world and the entire human civilization, but now it seems that I can only leave with regrets." ”
With a guy like Ustinov, he is destined to be unable to communicate with the other party, because the other party has never thought of communication, so there will be no peace.
Carter said to Brezhnev: "Mr. General Secretary, human civilization has come to the present, it has been 5,000 years, and it is cruel to let 5,000 years of human civilization be destroyed in the hands of our generation, and at the same time I am also very helpless, for the entire universe, maybe it is only a moment, and in the future, I don't know if a new civilization will be born." ”
Carter was really a little disheartened, he thought that he would return empty-handed, but he still had to try, as long as he got out of here, then, the subsequent nuclear weapon strike, will come.
Even, it is not certain whether you can leave the Soviet Union alive, even if you have four fighter planes, but if the Soviets want to kill themselves along the way, it is too simple, and even nothing else, just make a small move on your plane.
He walked outside, and before he reached the door, he saw that the deputy minister of defense of the Soviet Union, not caring about the order of the meeting, had already hurried in, and whispered a word to Ustinov in his ear, and in an instant, Ustinov's face changed color.
There was a burst of red, a burst of white, and his body even began to tremble because of anger.
Even President Carter was surprised, what's going on?
"President Carter, you are really here with sincerity, on the one hand, you are talking to us and wanting to be a messenger of peace, and on the other hand, you are secretly destroying our satellites in space! You say we want to destroy the Earth, but you don't even let go of outer space! ”
Ustinov was rather outraged.
The Soviet Union was not afraid of a nuclear strike, and now the Soviet Union is fully prepared, and dozens of ballistic missile nuclear submarines have left the port and lurked in the depths of the ocean, waiting for the arrival of orders at any time.
This command, of course, is delivered by satellite, which is the most direct form.
At the same time, satellites also take on the heavy task of monitoring the enemy's ballistic missile firing.
Since the first artificial satellite was launched into the sky, the Soviet Union and the United States have launched a large number of satellites for various missions, and now, the Soviets suddenly found that their satellites in orbit are losing contact one by one!
Reconnaissance satellites, communications satellites, ballistic missile warning satellites, etc., a series of satellites, are being destroyed, and it must have been done by the Americans! Space is quiet, but that doesn't mean there won't be gunsmoke, and now space has become a focus of contention between the two sides.
In the Cold War, how many secrets were not declassified until the end of the Cold War, and in space, even fewer were declassified, but it can be speculated that in the Cold War, both the United States and the Soviet Union were trying to destroy each other's satellites.
At its peak in the 80s, President Reagan proposed the Star Wars program, and now, although it has only just stepped into the door of the 80s, the United States has already put some anti-satellite technology into practical use.
For example, particle weapons.
Laser weapons are more well-known, after all, this thing is often implemented in science fiction, aliens hold laser guns in their hands, and spaceships are also laser cannons.
However, no one has calculated the amount of power it needs, even if it is a laser gun, the energy required is definitely not something that a battery can carry, at least it has to be a small hydropower station.
As for the laser cannon, then the nuclear power plant can only be supplied, and this huge energy consumption is destined to be only an illusion.
Particle beam weapons, that is, to accelerate charged particles, such as protons, electrons, etc., although the mass of a single particle is very small, but when it is accelerated to a very high speed, the effect of mass relativism will dramatically amplify its mass, thus bringing terrible energy, kinetic killing.
To accelerate particles, you need to use accelerators, which are the most common in the laboratory.
No one knows when the United States broke through this technology, in short, now that it is at a critical juncture, the United States has finally sacrificed this magic weapon.
This kind of weapon, even in later generations, has not completed all the research and development, after all, there are still many problems, such as the need for terrible energy, such as its incomparably large size, such as serious attenuation in the atmosphere, and so on.
However, both the United States and the Soviet Union are actually sparing no effort in researching, and now the Americans are using it to strike satellites in space, so that the launch of ballistic missiles by the Soviets is greatly hindered, and Ustinov is angry.
Peace, you keep talking about peace, and now you have actually started to do it!
Compared to the United States, the Soviet Union had stricter discipline, and who would dare to launch a nuclear bomb on those submarines without an order from Moscow? It can be said that the destruction of their satellites has temporarily abolished the counterattack power of Soviet nuclear submarines.
Neither side can guarantee that all the other side's targets will be destroyed in the first wave, so it is necessary to retain the ability to strike a second nuclear strike, and the Soviet Union mainly relies on missile trains and nuclear submarines.
Nuclear submarines are temporarily uncontactable, and missile trains, many of which also need satellite contact, although radio can also be contacted, but will the Americans give up the opportunity for interference?
Ustinov's face was gloomy, and now there is no breakthrough in Soviet technology in this area, that is, they are not capable of destroying American satellites for the time being.
The nuclear counterattack capability of the United States is perfect, and once a nuclear war really breaks out, it will be bad for the Soviet Union!
"Mr. President, please stay in Moscow for the time being, we need to discuss it." At that moment, Gromyko spoke.
Carter breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the Soviets have signs of concessions, as long as the Soviets are willing to give in, as long as the nuclear war cannot be fought, he can still leave a mark in the last term of the presidency.
It's just that the destruction of the satellite system of the Soviets was not an order given by themselves?
Could it be that Nathan made the decision?
When President Carter handed over the nuclear suitcase and gold card to Nathan, it was up to Nathan whether the world could exist, and although this did not quite match the laws of the United States, his subordinates still acquiesced to all this.
Seeing that the earth is about to be destroyed, why do you care about so many bullshit rules and regulations?
Nathan picked up the nuclear suitcase, which was equivalent to President Carter's stand-in, at this time, Nathan and the other generals discussed and decided to give President Carter's travel, how much confidence to add?
